One.

My big girl has turned 1. One year. 365 days. It's tooooo fast. Too quick. It seems like yesterday that we were bringing our peanut home from the hospital.

If you ask me, she is turning more amazing every day. This girl is full of spunk, spit fire, and the most beautiful smiles. Her vocabulary includes: mama, dada, noooo, hottttt, uh oh, owww, tickle tickle, MoMo (for Elmo), nigh nigh, hi, and working on "on" and "off" now. Animal noises are plentiful... cat, dog, cow, pig, duck, lion, goat, and working on buzzing like a bee. Chloe is walking EVERYWHERE now and her waddle is too much for me to handle. We've dabbled in a little signing so she know's "all done, more, and water. The little gasp that escapes her lips is my favorite noise she make. A little quirk: she pulls her left eyelash while she takes her bottle. I'm afraid she's going to pull them all out one day but who knows? We've weaned her down to 2 bottles a day: one before her nap, one before bed. Her schedule looks a little like this:

8 am Up for the Day
Eat pretty much right away
12pm  Lunch
1pm Bottle (4-6oz) and down for 2.5-4 hr nap
Snack pretty much as soon as she's awake
20 minute nap around 5:30 if she had a short nap
6pm Dinner
8pm Snacking begins
8:30 6-8 oz bottle and down for the night

FINALLY she had been sleeping all night. The last few nights have woken her in painful fits because we are working on teething but otherwise, its been a beautiful thing to get some solid nights of sleep.
 Here's a few pictures of our beautiful one year old girl....

A few of her favorite things right now:

Visits from Mimi (and Papa)

Being outside 

Elmo

ALWAYS having something in her mouth

Carrying at LEAST 2 toothbrushes around -- but she prefers 3.

This girl keeps us guessing, learning, and laughing every day. I'm one blessed mama.
